Natural Resources - Canada Geese - Bag Limits

HB 892 requires Maryland's daily bag limit for Canada geese during the migratory hunting season to match the annual federal limit set by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (U.S. Department of the Interior). This applies specifically to the Atlantic population of Canada geese, including those hunted in both migratory and resident population zones within the state. The bill amends Maryland law to ensure state regulations conform to the federal rule adopted each year, rather than allowing separate state limits. It affects hunters of Canada geese in Maryland and takes effect July 1, 2025.
